Ignoring the exogenous energy expenditures implicit in industrial agriculture is a foolish oversight, especially in light of the upcoming shortages in fertilizer and other inputs due to supply disruptions from Russia, Ukraine and China. We may see billions malnourished within a year. Additionally, if Russia's gas infrastructure is allowed to freeze over, due to demand restrictions, they might not be able to recover. The last supply disruption (When the Soviet Union collapsed) caused damage that took until 2021 to repair. Permanent loss of a large fraction of the worlds fertilizer supply is a very real possibility. Much marginal farmland would be lost as a result.
